Alright, I'm officially entering my first Ludum Dare (#42)! No idea what I'll end up doing, but most likely Unity if 3D or GameMaker if 2D. Most likely it will depend on the theme.

I took part in the Global Game Jam last year with some friends, but for this Ludum Dare it'll be just me. I'm hoping to make something within scope, since I know I'll be doing all the art and programming, plus audio... And design, lol. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be... fine...

In the two weeks to come I'll do some prep. I'll update you as I go. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with, myself included!

That took a while! And I was a little surprised by how similar or even identical many were! Some were also hard to do for a solitary/ non-programmer, I feel. I kinda wish I had written the ones I voted yes on down, because many were good, and I had some fun ideas. Oh well, next time 🙂 I saved about 500 so... lol

How about you, did you have any favorite themes?

Alright, I am trying to make a plan for Friday through Monday, and I’m realizing that I am not sure about the last part of the LD jam. I’m hoping someone can shed some light so I can go back to planning.

Firstly, I’m thinking of putting the game on itch.io, so do I link to it on the LD site, and keep updating versions until 4 pm (Nevada) on itch?

Second, any post mortem, GitHub links etc, does that go on LD game page or on itch game page, or both? Or do I put those in a blog post?

Thankful for any light you experienced jammers can shed on this. I just want to be sure I’m doing it right since I’m new at this. :) Any additional wisdom is also appreciated.
